My take on it is that a lot of artists' perspective toward digital was
formed in the early transitional years, and this movie is largely about
that time period. From a personal perspective, I sold our analog studio
about that time (late 70's) simply because the cost of conversion was
unjustifiable due to many things, including the rise of home studios and
disco-based "beat" music.
Most of the great unwashed seemed to equate 'digital' with MP3 9and
Apple equiv) , and crappy streamed downloads. This can be either in a
positive or negative light.
Apparently CDs other other media are not 'digital' any more, but get
dmaned when the negative mode is on.
